Esta no lo es menos

Esta no lo es menos  is an original etching on paper , realized by the great Spanish artist  Francisco Goya  in 1810 .  

The artwork belongs to the famous series Los Desastres de la Guerra realized during the years of the Independence Spanish War and published for the first time in 1863 and representing the horrors and the despair of the War.   

Numbered on the upper left corner, etching n. 67.

Good conditions ; yellowing sheet.

A trio of old aristocrats, dressed with the fashion of the eighteenth century, supports an image of which we see the platform and the armor. The procession continues and another character holds a second image. The two virgins represented are those of Soledad and Atocha (in the background). Criticizing this strange devotion, Goya emphasizes the power of the clergy and its reactionary attitude, a continuous source of struggles between the so-called serviles and the liberals.
